BATS YOUTH-LED
For the students, by the students.
“BATS is like a pay-it-forward chain at a drive-thru. You realize it helps you, and when you decide to take part, it inspires you to do the same for the next person. Except the chain never ends, and the effects last for a lifetime.”
— Mylo“I have been in BATS since 2021, when I was in sixth grade. Being a part of BATS, I have learned so much about prevention strategies, underrepresented people, and advocating for change. Personally, BATS has taught me how to be a better leader, a reliable worker, and a strong voice for the causes I believe in. I would not be the person I am without the monthly meetings, the student led events, or the dedicated youth that I worked with. BATS is truly of the youth, by the youth, and for the youth.”
— Emerson“What does the BATS youth-led group mean to me? This question feels too big to put into words. BATS helps me become a person I strive to be, where I can take a plethora of opportunities I could’ve only dreamed of. BATS is something that can bring out the better in members in BATS and individuals who are receiving the work of what we do. BATS is amazing.”
— Anaiah— Kevin“I love bats because it has given me countless opportunities to help my peers with issues that they face today. I believe being youth led is an important way we are successful when fixing problems that regard our community.”
- Finn“BATS has definitely changed me for the better. It has inspired me to be a better person, and a better version of myself.”
